How to evaluate the inverse of cosecant with the unit circle

The video tutorial explains how to find an angle using the cosecant function and its reciprocal, sine. The instructor demonstrates rewriting cosecant in terms of sine, rationalizing the denominator, and finding the reference angle using the unit circle. Domain restrictions are applied to determine the correct angle solution. An alternative method for solving the problem is also discussed, emphasizing simplification techniques.
